happy days matt,you may get a few laps in over the christmas

 

Nice one

 

Hope so lads ..thanks .

 

Update .. car was started and then developed a big leak from around the fuel pump area ..he's in Scotland for 2 days then he will try and get back on it Saturday ..in reality I don't think I'll have it back for Xmas ..it just never ends I'm getting fucked off tbh.

 

My Dad used to say "them's the joys of motoring!"

When you modify or restore any car you will have teething problems, don't let it get you down, these things happen and it will be solved.

 

 

Just teething trouble mat stick with it mate will be worth it

 

Sorry gents I should have elaborated a bit better ..I'm still happy as out of the all the build it's been a TPS swap ,ignition switch swap and a leak from the pump ..hopefully nothing else now ..the joys of motoring lol

 

Found a dash panel so I can get rid of the joystick ..

 

I think one of those panels is the last bit I have left from my old fords.

Shame we can't just walk into a ford garage and buy any part we require new

I think Mercedes and porsche do have the majority of stuff in stock, just a shame other manufacturers don't follow suit.

Stick with it, it will be worth it.

 

Cheers mate it's in good hands ..Steve has been brilliant so far.

 

That looks very tidy now with the charge pipe black, looking forward to see the figures it makes

 

thanks mate ..I'm really looking forward to see how it develops it's power etc .

 

 

thanks very much mate ..it should be on the road and flying round North Wales for first 2 weeks of 2019 .

 

Hi mate what a great read that was. 1st of really sorry to read about your loss of your good friend. Such a tragedy. The car is stilunning mate wish j could get mine to something like that.

 

Thanks mate that means a lot ..it was my mate that got me into these nearly 20 years ago ..and thanks it's been a 2 year slog to get It right ..just take your time and any help you need feel free to ask ..I.will help as much as I can .

all the best Mat.

 

What a mate. I couldn't think of anything better to get into than Ford's lol. I don't know how I came to love them so much. Started xr2i then to red fez turbo then a black one then to a rocket ship of a mk1 fez with a zetec turbo one that KP built if you know him and then to my mk4 rs turbo now

 

aye he was a good lad ...and you've had some nice cars by the sound of it mate ..I don't know a KP unless I know him.by another name.

 

Well I don't know how I found it but look at the thread.

now that look a wicked build mate ..very nice .


Yea I'm not far from Rhyl mate at all about 25mins away ..yea you don't see many about these days .

 

 

welcome anytime mate ..I'll be chucking some mileage on it once back from mapping in next 2 weeks.

 

was a rocket mat. I am thinking of doing a carb on the rs or maby (subject to finding a pair) doing a double carb on it

 

I bet it was mate ..could do a Duratec on TBs maybe if not I'd stick with a zetec turbo ..they certainly move .

 

I would doit the same as the mk1 if you look at the pictures you'll see the turbo carb which was originally of a 2.0ltr Montego turbo I would simply add another one all would be is a custom manifold and the head scratch of ecu which I would hope would work ok

 

now that sounds very good and different mate ..like it .

 

do you known of any1 on here that has experience or good knowledge on su carbs and ecu ECT? I'm very tempered to upset the wife in changing my plan as I have a zetec head put away just needs a bit of tlc.

 

Where do you get these from buddy?

 

sorry mate I don't .


my friend gave me them right before he died ..he restored his escort cosworth .

 

Ahh ok so was it just bits and bobs he didn t use?

 

no that's box 1 & 2 of 44 boxes of NOS bits .

 

wow I need a few in my life for sure

 

They have come in handy so far on this build ..really glad i got them now .

 

I can imagine buddy. I will need to find something like them. If you know of any can you give me a shout! How much did the needle rockers cost you?

 

hi mate if I see any I'll give you a shout ..the roller rockers were $425 delivered from America from a company called Harland Sharpe .

 

What do they come under as I can't find them for the van? Do you think they make a difference/help?

 

They come under EURO CVH on the page mate ..and yea they do make a difference ..less friction in the head and are stronger so can rev higher if needed ..I'm told they help cam wear with these and the correct oil pressure on the cvh head .

 

ahh ok. I may think about getting a set of those. Do you have the link as I can't find them for live nore money
